Halo 2 was just good. The one thing to note though is that the Brutes were terrible in Halo 2. I still loved them but the Halo 3 Et Tu Brute video thing pretty much sums up how I feel about the Halo 2 brutes. They were basically just bullet sponges.

They were even worse once we had a headshot capable weapon in our hands...Brutes were no threat in Halo 2.

Halo 3's legendary mode was also easier than before but i felt the Brutes weren't threatening there either. Had they gone berserk more like in Halo 2 with their Power Armour it could have provided more of a challenge since you would have to focus on dealing with the berserking Brute, who may not be dispatch-able easily due to the Power Armour.

Try H-4 if you really want to appreciate the bullet sponge aesthetic. (Cripes) There was a quick-kill solution to H-2 Brutes. Either needle or carbine headshot. I think their berserking mode (unlike H-3's four year old running around without aim) changed your options. You really had to take stock of enemies and determine when to take out the 2nd to last guy. H-3 Brutes just seem like a half assed version of Elites. I got the gist of the viddoc, but, felt they failed. The gorilla charge of an H-2 Brute was way more memorable/threatening than anything that happened in H-3 for me.
